NOTES
1). !It is thought that Thomas Stoughton came to Americ a o n t h e ship, the Mary and John, arriving 30 May 163 0 acc ompa ni ed by his three youngest children, Sarah, Kat herine , an d Th omas. If his first wife accompanied him , she mus t hav e die d fairly soon, for he married again i n 1635. J ames C udwort h, son in law, to Thomas brother , the Rev. J ohn Sto ughto n who remained in England, wrot e a letter t o his step fathe r in Dec. 1634, in which h e mentions tha t his two un cles, T homas andIsrael were i n good health , and that Thom as was t o be married shortl y to a widow wi th living childr en. TAG 29 4, p.197 Th omas and his ne w wife were amon g those wh o established t he settlement o f Windsor in Conne cticut, an d must have r emoved there a s early as 1636, sinc e a Court h eld at New town Hartford on 21 Feb 1637 mentio ns him by na me. TA G 29 4, p. 197 Also see The Great Mig ration Begins , b y Robert Charle s Anderson, pp.1777 1779 , for a fairly c o mprehensive history of his life and famil y. Also see T h e English Ancest ry of Thomas Stoughton, 15 88 1661, sho ul d be 1593 1661 a s explained below and Hi s Son Thoma s Stoug hton, 1624 168 4, by Ethel McLaughlin Tu rner an d Paul Boynt on Turner, Waterloo, Wisconsin, 1958. !In Anderson s record, Thomas was christened 23 Jan 1592 9 3 . In the IGI, another Thomas was christened 9 Jul 15 8 8 . Th is conflict prompted me to look at the microfil m o f t he Nau ghton Parish Record, British Film 919624, pa r t 2 . I discov ered that there were two Thomas Stoughton s , th e first one c hristened 9 Jul 1588, and the second c hr isten ed 23 Jan 1593 . Although difficult to read, ther e w as a m ention in the s ame Parish Record that the firs t Tho mas ha d died the same d ay that he was christened. !Two children, John Stoughton, AFN 46D3 Z6, and Israel S t o u ghton, AFN 46D4 0B, were submitted to Ancestral Fil e a s b el onging to the family of Thomas Strougton, probab ly i n er ror . See The Great Migration Begins, p.1776. Ho wever , An itaH. Davis of Bountiful, Utah, who share s my s ame Jo hn Wi lcox ancestry, continues to list them , mention ing Th e Sett lement of Windsor, Connecticut b y Avery an d Siemiat koski , p. 11, which says there were young, most ly singl e men su ch as Israel Stoughton. Ani ta suggest s that ther e were ot her grown children left be hind in Eng land, one o r two whic h might have come late r like Thomas brother Isr ael did i n 1632. It is possib le that this y oung Israel St oughton i n question wasa so n of Thomas Sto ughton s younge r brother , Israel, even th ough he was no t known to have li ved in Con necticut. Th e data for thes e two children tha t I have no t listed ar e as follows Jo hn Stoughton, b. ab t 1623, of C oggeshal l, Essex, England , died England or USA , baptize d 8 Jun 1 940 and endowed 2 7 Mar 1946, ARIZO, an d sealed t o parent s 30 Jan 1947, ARI ZO and Israel Stought on, abt 162 6, o f Coggeshall, Essex , England, died prob. Wi ndsor, Hartf o rd, Connecticut, bap tized21 Sep 1994, LOGAN , endowed 1 8 M ar 1995, LOGAN, an d sealed to parents 4 Ma y 1995, LOG AN. S o, at least th e temple work has been don e for the m should t hey be foun d to be children of Thomas S toughto n and Elizabe th Thomps on. Thomas Stoughton is duplicated in Ancestral File, prob a b l y becuase of the fact that there was a infant, Thoma s S to ug hton, who died in 1588 as explained above, prio r to t hi s Th omas Stroughton. The duplicate number is AF N 1V6K 6C3 . An d theduplicate ordinances are bap 8 Mar 1 995, en d 1 5 Apr 1 995, and S.P. 19 Apr 1995, all at the B ountifu l Tem ple.
2).  !There is a conflict regarding the surname of Elizabet h , w i fe of Thomas Stoughton, the Ancestral File listin g  i t a s M ontpesan, but with one reliable source givin g it a s Tom pso n or Thompson. See  The Great Migration Be gins,   by Rob er t Charles Anderson, p.1778. I have chose n to u se the su rna me Thompson in this record, since Ande rson ha s been a r elia ble source and since the Ancestra l File has n  t alway s bee n a reliable source. The submitt ers to Ance stral Fil e coul d have confused the surname fo r Katherin e Monpesso n with th e surname for Elizabeth.
